The Persistent Gu Xun'er

"Xiao... Xiao Fan... could you let go first?"

"It hurts a little..." Xiao Yu turned her head to the side and murmured softly.

"Hm? Oh, okay." Xiao Fan released her tightly clenched hand.

For some reason, Xiao Yu suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Sister Xiao Yu, the guards of the Xiao Clan Market are up ahead. Hurry back, and don't wander around again. That Jialie Ao from the Jialie Clan is no good person."

Xiao Fan warned her, though after that kick of his, something of Jialie Ao's was probably about to break.

"Mhm." Xiao Yu nodded and left with a faint trace of melancholy.

Xiao Fan merely assumed that Xiao Yu was still angry with him. He paid no attention to her unusual mood and turned to leave.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had truly left just like that, Xiao Yu stomped her foot hard. Her already shapely, slender legs seemed even more powerful.

Xiao Fan took out the Black Gilded Mask and put it on. There was still one crucial item he had yet to buy today.

Yet the moment he put on the mask, he saw a headache-inducing scene.

"Oh, this beautiful little sister, my name is... Hiss..."

Jialie Ao suddenly clutched his crotch. He had been limping along with the support of his guards, intending to return to his clan, when he spotted the adorably lovely Gu Xun'er. Her smooth black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her immature yet angelic face utterly robbed him of his senses.

But before he could even say more than a few words, Gu Xun'er delivered a devastating kick. His already precarious manhood was now in even worse shape.

Just as the guards were about to draw their blades and go through the usual motions, an invisible pressure descended upon them. No matter what they wanted to say, they could not force the words out.

The guards were crying inside. First they had encountered a strange little brat, and now this inexplicable pressure. They had a feeling that if they said anything else or even moved, death would be waiting for them.

"Waaah, Mom, I want to go home."

The three of them abandoned Jialie Ao at once and ran for their lives. Whoever wanted to be a Jialie Clan guard could do it. They certainly weren't doing it anymore.

Gu Xun'er could not be bothered with them. Her gaze swiftly swept through the surroundings, searching for the person she had in mind.

Sure enough, when she spotted the familiar Black Gilded Mask, the corners of her lips rose slightly. With a cheerful smile, she headed toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan inwardly cried out in alarm. He did not know whether Gu Xun'er had seen his face last night, but with this mask of his, he was certain she had recognized him.

"Damn it!"

He swiftly hid himself within the crowd. He did not want any further entanglement with Gu Xun'er. At most, they could only have the relationship of a power bank.

Xiao Fan's escape also caught Gu Xun'er by surprise. At times like this before, shouldn't Xiao Fan have happily come to her side?

But she quickly figured it out. "Brother Xiao Fan must want to maintain his sense of mystery. Then I won't expose him."

She indeed could not find Xiao Fan, but one must not forget that there was a Dou Emperor by her side.

"Elder Ling, find Xiao Fan."

"Yes, Miss."

Ling Ying's spiritual sense as a Dou Emperor swept over the area and quickly locked onto Xiao Fan, who was keeping his head down and weaving through the crowd to evade them.

Damn it, having a Dou Emperor as a guard is such a big deal, huh? Xiao Fan felt quite helpless. Under the search of a Dou Emperor, how could someone with merely Dou Qi possibly hide?

With that thought, Xiao Fan stopped hiding.

Ling Ying thought to himself, As expected, this little brat can sense my presence. What powerful soul strength.

"Miss, Xiao Fan is not far ahead."

"Mhm." Gu Xun'er nodded and hurried toward Xiao Fan.

"Hey, you've been following me all this way. What exactly do you want?"

Gu Xun'er was clearly startled by Xiao Fan's impatient tone. She had never seen him act so impatiently toward her before, and she felt somewhat wronged.

But she soon adjusted her mood and said, "You were the flower-picking thief who entered my room last night."

This left Xiao Fan speechless. Gu Xun'er had only been born not long ago, yet he had always regarded her as the Gu Xun'er from his previous life. His attitude truly had been inappropriate.

But what the hell did that have to do with him? He had done it already, and he had seen it already. If she had the ability, she could have Gu Yuan come looking for him. He would not use this chance to speak any further with Gu Xun'er. "Follow me if you want."

Xiao Fan continued walking on his own, paying no attention to Gu Xun'er behind him.

Gu Xun'er silently followed behind Xiao Fan. She was actually rather curious about what he wanted to do.

The Xiao Fan of this life had changed greatly from the one in her memories.

Mittal Auction House.

When the guards at the entrance saw Xiao Fan and Gu Xun'er approaching, they impatiently tried to drive them away.

"Go on, go play somewhere else, brats."

"I'm here to make a deal with the Mittal Auction House."

The guards burst into laughter. "Hahaha, what could two little brats like you possibly have to trade? This isn't a place to play house."

Xiao Fan was somewhat speechless. Why did all these guards think the same way...?

Just as Xiao Fan was at a loss, Gu Xun'er's thoughts stirred, and she was about to take the Purple Crystal Black Card from her Storage Ring.

A figure in a stunning crimson gown arrived at the entrance of the Mittal Auction House and called out in a seductive voice, "Let him in."

Upon seeing her, the two guards immediately dropped their mocking expressions, stood at attention, and looked at her respectfully.

"Yes, Miss Ya Fei!"

Xiao Fan was startled and asked doubtfully, "Ya Fei?"

"But wasn't she supposed to come to Wutan City at least ten years later?"

Ya Fei seductively took Xiao Fan's hand, and he could even clearly feel her lightly tickle his palm.

"Oh my, what an adorable little fellow. You're even wearing a mask to look cool."

"Come, let big sister hold you."

Ya Fei gently picked Xiao Fan up. Her jade-like hand moved lightly as she removed his mask. Upon seeing Xiao Fan's face, tenderness and delight flashed through her already seductive eyes.

Ya Fei's excessive enthusiasm left Xiao Fan somewhat at a loss. In his memory, Ya Fei should not possibly know him at this time.

"Little brother, what do you have to trade with big sister? Big sister is very curious. Come, let's go to big sister's room."

"Your... your room?" Xiao Fan's mind had completely stopped functioning. Was Ya Fei this familiar with strangers?

Without even waiting for Xiao Fan's answer, Ya Fei carried the dazed Xiao Fan into the Mittel Auction House.

Gu Xun'er stood there blankly. It took her quite a while to react. "How dare she steal my man!"

With that, she was about to rush into the auction house.

The guards immediately crossed their spears, blocking Gu Xun'er.

"Little miss, you cannot enter without an adult accompanying you."

Gu Xun'er was so angry that a Purple-Gold Black Card appeared in her hand, stunning the guards.

"Can I enter now?!"

Only then did the guards realize that the little girl before them was not someone they could afford to offend, so they obediently let her through.

"Miss, please enter."

After entering the auction house, Gu Xun'er searched everywhere, but she could not find Ya Fei or Xiao Fan no matter what.

"Damn it, how dare that woman touch what belongs to me!"
